Two of the more famous later Scrooge McDuck stories by Carl Barks are featured in this album (reprints from Uncle Scrooge #59 and #60, September and November 1965). First is Barks' last Alaska/Klondike story (which is which gets a little muddled), "North of the Yukon," where, once again, McDuck encounters a well-known old swindler from '98, Soapy Slick. Second: Uncle Scrooge doesn't believe in ghosts till he visits an ancient Duckburg church. There he uncovers secret tunnels, a coin cathedral, and a light-fingered, fleet-footed thief, "The Phantom of Notre Duck." An interesting side piece is "The Barko Factor," written by Geoffrey Blum. In it he tells the story of a real-life sled dog that inspired Barks.
